Hello
« on: December 26, 2014, 01:01:57 PM »
Hi, I am looking at buying another camaro. What do you estimate the cost of a one owner 1968 RS to be. It has all original everthing except the 327 is now a crate 350. P/W, Power glide, RS, buckets w/ console, tilt and p/S. Its in good condition and a relatively rust free CA car. Thanks in advance

Hard to say, sight unseen.  Can you post some pictures?   Does it look original or have you checked numbers?

Looks like you won't need a heater... and the rocker molding is not that expensive.
So, if the interior, chassis, and drivetrain look (and run) as good, I'd say Charley is quoting a fair price.

Thanks for all the replies.
Yes its in hawaii. I know I wont need a heater, but that means no blower or anything else for a/c. But if I buy it ill get the vintage air and power disk brakes.
Did RS's ever come from the factory without rocker moldings? Also the horn capl says camaro and no grill rs. But ive seen other rs' s with different horn caps. All paper work and protecto plate comes with it. I just wish he saved that engine.

Look closely at the Ebay ad. That car has a ton of rust. Look for another car. Are you in Hawaii and stuck with getting a Island car ?

Or pay less than 20 if you can live with the rust. It is not a relatively rust free Ca. Car. I doubt if it has been in Ca. since it was built.

Ahhh Charley you suck.  Just kidding.. I think you are right. I had visions of driving another 68 and was blinded. Oh well. I'm at 14k but I doubt that'll win. I'm not stuck with getting a Hawaii car, just that I could hop over there easy and its harder and expensive to fly to the main land. Plus you can't trust anyone nowadays... If I find a really good deal I'd go get it....

Hard to tell how rusty it is. You can see the front bottom of the door in the interior shot and it looks OK. But the rear bottom looks bad in the exterior pics.
I wouldn't run, but I'd look at it first.
Power windows, heater delete, and POP, that's nice.

What about this one? I just found this one after I was outbid on the first. Its another 68 RS, 350, bench seat and again no heater or a/c(also has bumperettes) Yes I saw the tow hook LOL. Does anyone recognize the pin striping? What was that on. Other than the white book, is there a good book that explains everything that came on Camaros? It has the hood two engines(including original) willwood front disk kit, original and rally rims and a rear spoiler. Tell me everything you see...  :)   I would rather be told now than regret it later. Thanks
